DONNIE IRIS: THE BEER


If there's one thing Pittsburgh likes as much (if not more) than sports, it's beer. And if there's another thing Pittsburgh has had a long love affair with, it's rocker Donnie Iris. The dream scenario of many a Yinzer is now reality, as Iris has released his own beer: King Cool Light.

The beer is brewed by The Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, and is described as "a full-flavored, caramel-colored lager" with 122 calories. It was officially introduced last week at Diesel in the South Side, where it will be available immediately. King Cool Light is also available at about a dozen other bars in the South Side and will be released throughout the region very soon. And to celebrate this occasion, here's a rare clip of Ah! Leah! from 1981, live from Donnie's Cuyahoga Falls show:



In other local beer news, there's been some radical changes to Pittsburgh's beloved Iron City Beer line, and to celebrate their new digs in Latrobe, City Brewing Comapny made the classic mistake of letting a blogger in to put all of their secrets on the internet. So if you've ever dreamed of seeing how your favorite beverage is manufactured from a behind-the-curtain angle, consider this your lucky day.
